Here On The Flightpath is an insightful comedy of male-female relationships. It is an hilarious look at one man's relationships with three attractive women. John, who is divorced from his wife, is a long-time resident of the Canadian Aurora Terrace Apartments, which are a mile from downtown and on the flight path of a busy airport. The man's social life is built around his buddies and the ever changing tenants, particularly the unattached women, who move into the apartment with the terrace adjoining his.

The Slate Islands: A Canoe Trip for the Bucket List
|
|
"...
As we paddle, I think that it's hard to believe we're on Superior because we're surrounded by land on all sides. And then I change my mind-the Slates are a microcosm of Superior. You've got iconic ancient rock, spruce trees and gorgeously clear turquoise water; the historical remnants of mining and logging operations scattered here and there; and the wind and waves as your soundtrack, all in one contained area. It's unbelievably cool.
